“It's hard to say what the politicians’ motivation was to join the public’s EuroMaidan. But thank God that it happened. I hope that the politicians did it with noble motives.

A very important point is that politicians rolled up their party flags and stood under the state flag. It is very important that politicians are not speaking against anyone but for Ukraine. And I hope that President Yanukovych in Vilnius will speak on behalf of Ukraine. And that he will understand that his strength is not in his party, but in those who stand on Maidan.
“If someone from Europe looks at Maidan, he will see another nation, another, true Ukraine,” said Archbishop Lubomyr Husar.
